What do you recommend for plug wires?
I usually like magnecore but, wanted to get advice from the yotatech forums. Is there something that's preferred for it's results?
Thanks

I just did my plugs and wires, and i was going to do oem ngk plugs from oreillys and order the plugs and do them later, but once i pulled one plug wire it came out in like 3 pieces.
So i had to get some duralast wires, i will prolly switch over to oem ones soon.
I hate that the old ones just crumbled apart, i had to get a friend to take me to the part store to get some extra thin pliers to get the wires off of the plugs.

Bite the bullet and get the stock ones the best I have tryed by far. It gets expensive trying new ones and having to replace them because they dont get you the best conductivity. Plus the factory ones are numbered and have the extra wrapping around them for heat and have the wires setup in holders already for plug and play pain free operation.

X2 on the OEM. I have had experience with aftermarkets and they just don't seem to run like they do with oem's. I worked at a dealer for the past 3 1/2 years and nobody would use anything but oem. Plus, they come with all the little plastic clips and holders.

Somewhere around $50 here is a link I found.
http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...96&catalogid=1
96-02 wires are listed at $45. If memory serves me correctly, dealer shouldn't be much more.

Ya but I just changed mine for the first time and they lasted 229,xxx so figure that into the price. With others you will have to replace them 2-3 times at $27-$34 a time it works out to be a very good deal

Across ALL import forums, NGK wires are regarded as and highly recommended for OEM replacement.
I've said it before and i'll say it again: blue NGK wires = OEM.
Save some coin.

I just installed blue NGK's on my '93 4R monday, and I checked the impedance of the wires before installing them. The three long wires were approx 7 Kohm, an the three short wires and the supply wire to the distributor were all roughly 5 Kohm. They seem like excellent wires... even lower impedance than my stock ones that came off (although the stock ones had 300,000 km on them... the PO said "why change something that still works? ) Well, after the last rain storm we had here and the truck bucking like a wild bronco, I took the old stock wires off and found a large crack in the insulation on one of the wires. With the new NGK wires, it runs better than it ever has since I own it.

I have the blue NGK's, they are numbered and have the extra protectors where needed like the OEM. One drawback they don't come with the clips to hold the wires to the coils. I had to go get those seperately since mine all cracked and broke when trying to get them off.
